Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 130 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 160 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 100 grams raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Stir in the rolled oats and optional raisins or chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into 18 evenly-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Gently press each ball down slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden around the edges. Do not overbake; the centers should still look soft.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your soft-baked oatmeal cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
